Re: Apologetic Islamic take on Evolution … Or unkind dismissal?
A fact is one that is shown to be true by multiple sources of corroborating evidence. The preponderance of evidence tells us that evolution is fact. Now you can put unreasonable demands on such evidence because you have a vested interest (because you believe this would contradict your religious belief) in seeing it disproven, but for those of us who aren’t threatened by evolution, we have the luxury of being free to study the beauty and elegance of evolution without the hindrance of stubborn dogma. When so much evidence is telling you something is true, and there is no evidence that exists to negate that evidence, then any reasonable person would understand it to be fact.
You would like to see speciation, a cow turning into an whale, first hand, and aren’t going to be convinced till a time machine is invented. The reasonable among us conclude that there is point at which denial of the evidence is futile. If something barks like a dog and smells like a dog, its probably not a chicken.
